No, even a gentleman should be careful

Description

In the first year, Princess Liqian met a ‘gentleman’ for the first time. He uprightly upheld justice. She sneered: “Hypocrite.”
In the third year, during the battle for the emperor's heir, he lost everything with just one step. He closed his eyes and begged for death. That person was the only one who stood out and protected him with his wealth and life when he returned to the capital. She sneered: "You are still a gentleman."
In the fifth year, she ascended the throne in a coup, and the empress came to the court and offered the man high-ranking officials, rich salaries, noble women and beautiful women, but she refused them all. She frowned slightly: "You are indeed a gentleman."
In the tenth year, when she woke up in the morning, her whole body ached, she gritted her teeth and cursed the person next to her pillow: "You are not a gentleman!"
